Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Cream Cheese Glaze Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- For the cream cheese glaze, beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until creamy and drizzleable.
- Serve the pancakes hot with a generous drizzle of cream cheese glaze on top. Enjoy your delightful breakfast!
